Todd Frazier is having fun.
A member of the Tom's River Little League Champion team when hs was 12, Frazier still has fun.
It may not have seemed like fun when a 95 mph pitch from Aroldis Chapman hit his surgically repaired knee or when fellow New Jersey native, Trevor Reckling of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, hit him in the hind quarters on Wednesday.
"I went into the shower to wash the target off my back," Frazier joked.
Dusty Baker met with his rising stars the other day. Frazier, Yonder Alonso, Chris Heisey and Juan Francisco were called in.
"Dusty just told us to relax and have fun," Frazier said.
Baker felt the young players were trying to impress by hitting the long ball.
"I told them that they are hitters with power, not sluggers," Baker said.
He may not needed to tell Frazier to have fun.
"I'm having a lot of fun," Frazier said. "This is my second spring training and the guys here are great. The new guys they brought in are great guys too. I'm enjoying this."
The 24-year old, who is trying to find a position came up as a shortstop but has played at secondbase and leftfield already this spring.
He is starting to swing the bat as evidenced by two hits and a pair of RBI against the Angels yesterday.
